@kayybabayy Have you installed the game through Steam or through the EA App? If you installed through Steam, you also need to launch through Steam, and also, any packs you own in Steam will only be accessible if you've installed through Steam.
Regardless of your setup, try forcing the EA App to update. Go here:
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop
and launch the EAUpdater.exe.
If you try to launch Sims 4 through Steam and it doesn't work, please restart your computer, then open both Steam and the EA App as an admin: right-click each desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator." Only try to open Sims 4 when both apps have completely loaded.
So I originally went to get it through steam, and when I went to install, it had me download EA.
Forcing the app to update, it is already up to date.
and the last option did not work as well.
like the game worked fine, and then two days later it wont start. I can play PvZ but not Sims

@kayybabayy Please uninstall Sims 4 and the EA App with Revo Uninstaller. I have a guide here:
Reinstall the EA App, then Sims 4 through Steam, plus any packs you own there. Then run both the EA App and Steam as an admin and let me know whether Sims 4 launches.
